Thank you, Stefan. I agree with your reply. This coropration I'm referring to is "Microsofting" the market. They are huge and hold the reigns in this situation. I may just have to belly up and choke the cost to get support, but like I said, my memor

Again, I want to pay. I am willing to pay. I just don't think I should pay "per-machine" or pay more than, say, $5,000. $12,000 for four machines is just plain rediculous in my book. Besides, the post made earlier that the per-machine is based on th

That's not a fair comparison. It's like putting a Ferrari next to a Volkswagon and asking which one you would choose if they both cost the same. The Infinity is a top of the line offering from DEK. The Accuflex is MPM's entry level machine for fully

Depending on quantities etc, you probably have a few options. If it's the automated route you require then any of the radial insertion machines from UIC or TDK will do the job. We've inserted LED's in the past with machines over 10 years old, so if

Hi, there is also a German company making odd-shaped component insertion equipment, actually very very suitable for LED placement and soldering in the same process cycle. LED's are held in position until soldering is complete, straight and in the s
